I suppose the main issue here from a legal perspective is the definition of a goal that can even be verified externally in case of disagreement, for instance by a judge. Hours of presence, on the other side, are quite objectively measurable

Here's a more skeptical article about Substack's (future) popularity in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/13/business/media/substack-g... The article also touches upon factors of Su

The first one, "Stuttgart 21" is very much related to rail. From the referenced Wikipedia article: > Stuttgart 21 is a railway and urban development project in Stuttgart, Germany. It is a part of the Stuttgart–Augsburg new and

Installing monitoring software (spyware) on a laptop that is owned by the school is legit only if you consider the student exactly that: a suspect. In that sense, your comment is spot-on. Following that logic, the act itself does not seem m

By the time of writing this, it looks like Barnsley has replaced the Dallas Cowboys as most valuable sports team. I suppose some Barnsley F.C. fan has had some fun with Wikipedia.

I understand the "cancer vaccine" is actually an enormous simplification. There are certain cancer types that can be triggered by viruses, so a vaccine against these viruses could prevent those particular cancer types. But giving

I think the parent's implication was that not taking is a coping strategy for ADHD, but it does not mean that note taking indicates ADHD. Meaning that you are probably right that ADHD patient should be supervised or guided in note taki

How is that bad? A vaccine is designed to cause a response by the immune system; this is certainly not pleasant, but exactly the trade against the potentially much worse effects of an actual infection.

This is another good example of the issue of misinterpretating true statistics by large portions of the population as outlined above about climate change. Many now understand that even 100% vaccination alone might not end the pandemic, so t

Agree, I was not saying it was redundant. But I would have expected a reference, as that paper was the first related item that came to my mind.

Too bad they don't cite the paper "The Benchmark Lottery" (M. Dehghani et al, 2021) ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.07002 ) > The world of empirical machine learning (ML) strongly relies on benchmarks

I find it still very concerning that you need to trick management into a better system... Edit: plus sacrifice an unpaid weekend of work for that.

Not a rhetorical question, but genuinely interested: what is your context, given that you are aware that this is not a random distribution? Of course the number of climate activists has risen, as we see the disastrous effacts of climate cha

The presumably rightful allegation of exaggerated numbers in Graeber's book does not necessarily render the existence of "bullshit jobs" untrue. I see that the (alleged) empirical flaws throw a shade on his hypothesis, but th

Not entirely true any more, unfortunately. Many (Western) Europeans go to countries like Poland, Hungary, Turkey for treatments that are typically not (fully) covered by health insurances, like manydental or laser eye surgery. There are pri

We have seen an enormous disintegration of social stability in many European countries, if not most. Those parts of the middle class that have not been affected by materially are right to fear they will be. This economic development has bee

I used Tesseract for some projects a few years ago (version 2.x). It was already state-of-the-art in the specific task it is designed for, more or less on par with the best proprietary solutions. As others pointed out, Tesseract is only a s

I fully agree, but my impression is that most people have some notion of that term. There is even a Wikipedia page about Big Tech, but of course nobody claims to have a strict definition. My hope has been that different perspectives on tha

Genuine curiosity. The whole debate about BigTech keeps recurring on so many levels, and there are so many individuals talking about privacy concerns, their power etc. I have many friends that keep uttering such concerns, and so do I to so

As mentioned by others, Google does "manipulate" search results too, but it is a slightly less sensitive/emotionalized topic because Google's content (web pages) is very different from Twitter's (personal utterances
